Being able to use my love and passion of technology every day to help improve processes and the web for users. It sounds cheesy, but I like finding out how things work and using my skills to understand them better and hopefully improve them for all users.
Usually The Office, Parks n Rec, or Friends (something I’ve already seen). I like having background sounds.
The best advice is from my parents and their advice is to give your tasks 100% effort. It’s helped me in projects and work throughout the years. Also, to not reinvent the wheel when it comes to solving a problem. Use the tools available to you and try to find new ways of looking at a problem in order to solve it.
Worst advice, would be the “figure out what you want to be when you grow up before you go to college” as if it’s your one shot chance. People change and grow, and their interests and skills change a lot in college. It’s great to have vision and a path, but it’s equally important to be flexible and learn who you are, or what you’re skilled at. You can also change your mind!
Either my trip to N.Y. where my best friend and I fit in a ton of tourist attractions in 3 days or my trip to Puerto Rico with my husband on a whim one weekend (where he proposed).
Gosh, just one day? Assuming I wouldn’t affect the present, I’d probably go see my loved ones who have passed, but it would also be great to see some of the big unanswered things of the past. Like who shot JFK, see the landing of the moon in person? Maybe go check out some other historical events.
Christmas Day one year after my grandmother and matriarch had been sick, the guys of the family decided to handle Christmas Day food. Instead of the usual turkey or ham and sides, they grabbed some steak and grilled them up. We had some light sides but everyone enjoyed the break from turkey, dressing, and sides (since we just had them on thanksgiving). Now we have steak on Christmas Day every year.
I love a good breakfast to be honest. It’s my comfort food and there’s so many options. So maybe waffles or French toast and some sides? It’s a tie between this and pizza of any type.
Either a nice fruity wine or any mixed drink if it’s not too strong.
Probably sea turtle. Slow and steady when needed, or agile in the water. Also a bit guarded and able to be alone.
Harry Potter, because I was a kid when the books came out and it became a tradition over the years to re-watch it over and over.
Any show I love. Parks n Rec, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, the Office, or Friends.
